Colton Smith@  
First Baseman | Owen Sound Crusaders

Hitting
Let's face facts: Smith hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Smith isn't a fluid first baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. Colton's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Smith isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases.
